Do they really need to know
Does it matter, does it show
Does it make them like me less
Can they see inside my head
Do they really need to know

Do they really need to know
Put on a front and fake a smile
Things seem ok for a while
Until the shadows creep back in
And the demons start to win
Do they really need to know

Do they really need to know
Everything looks fine outside
But I’m crumbling inside
Is it a secret I can tell
Or should I carry on in hell
Do they really need to know

Do they really need to know
What difference does it make
If I live a life that’s fake
It’s a decision that I make
Keep it hidden until I wake
I guess no-one needs to know
